EUROPE.

One of the most exciting incidents
during the present session of the British |
Parliament occurred soon after mid |
night, April IS. Colonel Saunderson,
in a speech on the Crimes Bill, said
the Parnellites we're associated with |
crime and criminals. He named among
the criminals Patrick Ford, ]. p. Sher- |
dan and Patrick Egan. Mr.. Healy
rose to point of order, when the
Speaker observed that the Colonel's
charge was undoubtedly serious, but it
had been put in such a form as to be
met in debate. He therefore did not
call upon the member to withdraw his
accusation. Mr.. Healy then declared
that the only course open to him was
to call Colonel Saunderson liar. He
was requested by the Chair to with
dIaw his expression, but he declined.
The Speaker thereupon named him
and Mr.. Smith moved he be suspend
ed. The motion carried by II8 to So,
few Radicals voting with the Parnel-
lites in the minority. Mr.. Healy, who
had voted against the motion, returned
to his seat after the division, when he
was requested by the Speaker to with
draw. He did so, bowling to the Chair
as he retired. His compatriots rose in
body, waved their hats and cheered
him Justify. AS he walked down the
floor Of the House DIR. Tanner shout
ed, "This is for telling the truth"
Mr.. Sexton then demanded that Col.
Saunderson withdraw the statement
that he had been an associate Of
murderers. The Colonel demured,
whereupon Mr., Sexton, in exciting
tones and looking toward Col. Saun-
derson, shouted, "You are willful,
cowardly liar, and if l had you
outside the doors of this house
would thrust the words down
your throat" The Speaker demanded
OF Mr.. Sexton withdrawal OF the ex
preston, and the latter replied that if
Colonel Saunderson would Withdraw
his charge he would withdraw the Ian
guage he had used. The Speaker then
asked Saunderson whether he charged
Sexton with associating with murderers.
Saunderson, after some evasion, with
drew the words he used The Speaker,
in again asking Sexton to withdraw his
expression, remarked that he could not
conceal from himself the fact that the
proyocation had been very greatj Sexton
then formally withdrew the expression.
News has been received of Emin
Bey. He was established at Waddelai,
north Of Albert Nyanza. In company
with DIR. Vita and three Greeks, he
stayed with King M. Wanga, Of Ugun-
da, seventeen days. Ermin asked the
King for permission to pass through his
territory toward Zanzibar The King,
upon hearing this request, ordered the
visitors to return the way they came,
and declared he would have nothing
more to do with Europeans. King
M. Wanga is youth IS years of age.
He has thousand wives. Sometimes
he wears Turkish, and other times an
Arab costume, and often reverts to
native simplicity in the matter OF dress.

with it? True, in this age of science and progress we have accomplished great engineering feats We have transported Cleopatra's needle thou sands of miles and erected it again to show the dear ladies what Cleopatra had to contend with, before sewing machines were invented. Why not get up an expedition and try and find her thimble?
 If we could only get the north pole once planted firmly in New York harbor we might send back Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty c. o. D. and invite him to come over and spend the sum- mer with us. We owe him that much anyhow, and doubtless he would ap- preciate it, provided we paid his board. I have investigated this north pole business thoroughly, and I think we had better leave it alone. It was wise providence that placed it there away from the reach of mankind in general and dime museum managers in particular. If the pole is ever found and pulled out, no one knows what the consequence will be. When it was found necessary to run an axis through the earth that it might roll around properly, by some miscalculation it projected out at both ends aud formed the two poles. Why they were not cut off at once, thus finishing the job up in good shape, is mystery that will always remain. As long as the earth is well supplied with petroleum and other lubricating oils, we need have no fear of its ever be- coming heated and stopping. Should great shock to most of us. To be sent headlong into space at the rate of a thousand miles an hour and come in contact with some stray planet would be objected to by many, especially those in delicate health. For myself. 1 prefer travelling in a sleeper, lower berth, unless there is fat man in the upper; then I prefer the upper, pro- vided we can trade.
 saw sheriff the other day who had warrant out for Pole. He got him too, and made no fuss about it. He put him away where the bears wouldn't hurt him. either. Instead of getting up expeditions to molest and disturb an inotlensive thing like the north pole, let us get rid of few that we now have. For instance, let us try the tad-pole first, and then if we want to tackle larger game, let all hands turn out and exterIninate the pole-cat.

 THE NORTH POLE.
BY J. F.. l..

Ever since the people of this earth became aware of the existence of the north pole, strenuous efforts have been tempts show that it still refuses to be found. notwithstanding that the great est pains were taken to approach it in friendly manner, and to entice it away to more congenial cline.
 Doubtless many are of the opinion that the north pole, remaining where it now is, is great waste of material and is benefit to no one, save, per- haps, for the festive white bear to climb upon and keep sharp lookout for few philanthropic emigrants who desire to get the benefit of the bracing air before settling down permanently, between the icebergs, or inside of a big polar bear.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the equator and the north pole are dissim- liar in climate. yet the favorite style of dress is in a measure the same. The Zulus and Hottentots prefer to go around in their bare skins on account of the excessive heat.
 For diametrically the opposite req son, the people of the poles also go around in bear skins.
 Sometimes the bear objects to part ing with his winter overcoat. but has no objection to the person sharing it with him, so they often compromise by the man getting inside of the bear.
 The change is so pleasing and com- fortable, that very few ever care to come out again.
 Of course, to the commander of the expedition, this procedure upon the part of his men is very annoying and vexatious. To have company of men deliberately leave the vessel when they had nothing to do except to get fat on one stewed shoestring day and go out and fraternize with the bears, is disheartening in the greatest degree.
 For the sake of discipline on board ship, it would be we'll to court -mar- tial any one found guilty of this } offense in the future.
 Even when the bears were killed in l order to compel the men to come out : and return to the vessel, they seemed very indifferent about going back. If they went back at all, they in- sisted on being carried, thus making more trouble for the poor, emaciated , crew.
 Bears are very friendly with all ex- ] plorers. They greet each newcomer with gentle hug that is at once beau- , tifll and affecting. Most of the men find that one good business hug from , hungry bear is sufficient to last a , lifetime. As general thing, one ex- perience is enough to satisfy the most morbid curiosity. The bear is also satisfied if the man is big enough. But, supposing that we did find thf ! north pole, what are we going to dc

of vice, and the course of an indepen- dent woman who stays in her fathers house." Thus he thought, and while he stood on the outside, he believed he heard his wife's joyful conversation with her lover. And he went up and put his ear to the door, and the wicked woman, even at that moment, was thus speaking in secret to her para mour, the merchant: Listen to this. Being in love with you, shall tell you secret to-day. The great grand father of my husband was long ago a man named Viravarman. In the yard of his house he placed four jars filled with gold, hidden in the ground in the four corners of it. And he made it known to one of his wives, and that wife, at the time of her death; told it to her daughter in law, and she told it to her daughter in- law, who was my mother in- law, and my mother in-law told it to me- Thus, in my husbands family, this comes down by word of mouth, step by step, through mothersi law. This was not re- lated by me to my husband, though poor, for he, being addicted to gaming, is hateful, but you are extremely dear to me. Therefore go there in the presence of my husband, and buy his house with money, and, having ob- tained the treasure, come here and share my happiness" Having heard this from the dishonest woman, her paramour, the merchant, was pleased with her, thinking that a treasure could be obtained without any effort. Devadasa, for his part, standing on the outside, by these spearlike words of his wicked wife, from that time held, as if transfixed in his heart, the hope of wealth. And then he went forthwith to the city of Pataliputra, and reach ing his own house, took the treasure and made 1t his own. Then the mer- chant, who was secretly the lover of the wife, came to that country, desir- ing to find the treasure, under the pretence of merchandising. The house was bought from Devadasa by him, and he gave large sum for it. Then Devadasa bought residence..and art fully and quickly brought his wife back to her father in-law's house. This being done, the wicked merchant, the lover of the wife, not getting the treasure, came and said to Devadasa: ''This house of yours is old, and it is by no means agreeable to me, there fore give to me the price I paid for it and make 1t your own house." Thus the merchant proposed, and Devadasa declined, and both fiercely disputing came into the presence of the Raja. and there Devadasa poured forth to the king of men the whole story about his wife, which was as hard to bear as poison ill his breast. Then the king caused the wife to be brought, and, having looked into the matter, contis- cated that adulterous merchants whole property. Devadasa then cut off the nose of his wicked wife, and, having married another woman, spent his days in happiness on the wealth he had found.

Occupation has a most inn portant, but chiefly indirect influence, according to it's tendency to good or bad hygienic conditions. Prof. Hirsch finds the worlds death rate from phthisis to be three per 1000, or nearly one-seventh of the mortality from all causes. In Vienna the rate is

Written for The Arkdnsdu Trdreler. THE TRAGEDY AT THE
 MAPLE.
A Thrilling Tale.
BY o. PHIDDLE STYX.

CHAPTER I.
 It was night. The cool zephyrs gently stirred the catnip leaves and waited the thistle down away over the fence into McFinnigan's turnip patch.
 A solitary horseman came riding along on stick.
 When he got to large maple with woodpecker hole in the top, he halted. but did not dismount
 He shouted, "Halloop'
 CHAPTER II.
 We will now tell you why this sol itary horseman, in the silence of the midnight hour, stopped at the maple with the woodpecker hole in the top and shouted "Halloo!"
 The solitary horseman's name was Thomas Tick. He loved young lady whose home was nigh unto that maple. And the young lady loved him.
 But the young lady's mother had other prospects for her daughter, and, in addition to this, she didn't like MT. Tick.
 CHAPTER III.
 It might as well be stated in this chapter as any other that the young lady, Sarah Ann Scoopington, was a beautiful creature. Her eyes were of a melting brown, her nose was just right, and her cheeks were of deli cate tinge between the color of rose in full bloom and Connecticut field pumpkin in all its glory. And she was as noble as she was beautiful. Tick knew this, and he was resolved that he would get her out of the house as soon as possible and marry her.
 CHAPTER ".
 But if Tick had had reasonable amount of common sense he wouldn't have come hallooing around the house. He might have known that he would awake the mother. If he had pro- ceeded quietly he probably would have avoided a tragedy. But Tick was one of those fellows who never stopped to think.
 CHAPTER V.
 Tick received no reply to his call, but just as he was growing somewhat impatient there was blaze and bang behind the garden wall, and Tick fell to the ground. He had been shot through the hat. AS he was about to say some last words, he heard scream and Sarah Ann leaped over the wall and fell on her knees bv his side.
 CHAPTER VI.
 And then the wailing that Sarah Ann walled. "Oh! oh !" she screamed, Thomas, my Thomas is goner What shall do now? Life will be nothing but thorny waste. Oh, mother, have you killed my Thomas?"
 CHAPTER VII.
 But Thomas said he guessed he wasn't killed. He said the bullet had struck him in the hat, but, he be- lieved that, with careful nursing he would recover. He added, "I think we had better retire to a safer spot: the old hyena may fire again."
 CHAPTER VIII.
 Thomas rose, and he and Sarah Ann were about to make tracks for the preachers and happiness, when there W uS "AAOSAANA iO0A aA1N hdcAis dlAu tllC old lady, instead of shooting Tick, shot herself. The gun, which wasn't safe one for woman to handle, went off backwards, and Mrs. Scoopington was no more.
 CHAPTER TX. l Alas. alas
 | CHAPTER X.
 The cool zephyrs kept on stirring the catnip leaves gently, and the thistle-down continued to sail over the fence into McFinnigan's turnip- patch.
 CHAPTER XI. Without even waiting until after the funeral, Thomas and Sarah Ann went unto the preachers and launched their frail bark upon the unknown and untried sea of matrimony, or words to that effect. | THE ND
